Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 164

Nigel could remember the times when Luna woke up crying in the middle of the night. Every time that happened, he would get up and put his arm around her in an attempt to comfort her.

His mother had been through so much just to bring the three of them into this world. She had gone through so much hardship to change her appearance and assume a new identity. All of this was so she could start a new life, but because of him and Nellie, she had to get close to that man again—the man who brought all of this down on her in the first place.

“Mommy.“ Nigel paused and took a deep breath before he finally said, “I love you.“

He would never say anything that would disappoint her again.

Luna never expected to hear a heartfelt confession like that from her usually shy and temperate son.

She chuckled in response. “I know. The three of you are the best things to ever happen to me, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you by my side.“

With that, she hung up the phone and plopped down on the couch. She stared up at the ceiling above her, deep in thought.

Joshua Lynch… What other tricks did that man have up his sleeve?

Luna remained in the same position on the couch until evening. When the time came to pick up Neil from kindergarten, she hurriedly went downstairs.

Coincidentally, she bumped into Joshua at the kindergarten gates.

It was five in the evening, so the sun was still up in the sky, casting a yellow glow over the streets.

Joshua stood at the gates to the kindergarten amidst the crowd of parents. He was a tall and slender man with an air of indifference and arrogance about him, so he easily stood out from the rest.

The rest of the parents seemed to deliberately steer clear of him. Some of them even tried to take pictures of him surreptitiously.

“That’s Mr. Lynch! But why is he here? This is just a n ordinary kindergarten.“

“I heard that his ex-wife’s daughter recently returned to the family. My guess is that the little princess is attending school here.“

“Why would she be attending school here? Wouldn’t she be at some prestigious kindergarten? Why would he send her daughter to some ordinary preschool like this?“

“This is exciting! I can brag to other people that my child went to school with Joshua Lynch’s daughter…“

Luna could hear the low murmurs of the other parents as they shared gossip among one another. She frowned and sat down in a corner by herself.

She had dropped Nellie off at Blue Bay Villa this morning herself, so how did Nellie end up attending school at the same kindergarten as Neil?

Luna guessed that it had probably been Neil’s idea. She sighed and made up her mind to talk to Neil about that when they got home.

All of a sudden, the parents stopped whispering among one another, and silence fell.

She lifted her head in confusion, and her eyes met Joshua’s. His intense gaze seemed to pierce right through her skin and bones, all the way down to her heart.

He curled his lips into a smirk. “We meet again, Ms. Luna.“ Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Joshua took a few steps in her direction and stopped in front of her. He was so tall that he loomed over her like a towering tree.

Luna took a deep breath and met his gaze. She gave him a small smile in return. “What a coincidence, Mr. Lynch. Are you here to pick up your daughter?“

“It’s not a coincidence. I came here for you,“ Joshua replied, his eyes still fixed on her.

“You came here for me? “ Luna furrowed her brows skeptically, unable to believe what she had just heard. “You ordered for me to leave your house this morning, yet now you came to the kindergarten just to look for me?“

“Why is that so hard to believe? “ Joshua narrowed his eyes a little. “If it weren’t for you, my daughter wouldn’t have insisted on coming to school with your son.“
